Very anxious, stressed and scared

Hi mama, I’ve been in your shoes 8m ago. I cried so badly before I accept the fact that I have to be induced that night and my husband was like “omg what happen”. 😅 Here’s my birth experience. I’m someone who has very low threshold for pain especially when in contact with needles (I black out). I would say my entire birth process was painless. Just grab the laughing gas when you feel that contractions are unbearable, request for epidural if needed. I was hugging onto the laughing gas and was high on it that I didn’t even feel anything during epidural and IV drip. It sounds really scary but I would say take it slowly. Wash your private area with Dettol or mild soap after peeing/pooping, it helps speed up recovery by a lot. This don’t hurt at all 😃 For poopoo, they will give you stool softener so you don’t have to strain while pooping. Overall I was waddling for the first 4-5 days cause I’m scared but I was able to function properly after that. Don’t watch birth videos, don’t listen too much. I listened to people’s birth experience saying how painful xxx is and I ended up stressing myself. Every birth experience is different. 💪🏻 Good luck mama!! Remember to hang on to the laughing gas!! 🫶🏻

hello mummy, don't worry. you can do this. i had 2 natural births without epi. my friends had epi and they said it was a great help. just follow your body! and for recovery wise, take it slow, walk slowly and get help. usually vaginal birth heals fast. *hugs*

mind over body. when the midwive told me its time to push. i just tell her, give me 15 mins. i did for all 3 pregnancies. it works, its telling your body, you are in control and you are gonna give birth to a little human. You can do this!
